This will determine your whole calendar printing process. So try to browse for the different types of calendars and see what you want to use.
2. Collect all your calendar design elements – Next, it is time to put all the things you need together. If you are using the standard calendar type, you will of course need 12 beautiful pictures for each month of the year. You will also need a list of holidays that you want to post, and a general calendar template the build your layout upon. Extra content may also be needed if you want descriptions for the pictures of each month as well as additional things like the company logo, pictures of the company executives etc. Generally, just pile in everything that you may think you need in one location and if possible encode them or scan them digitally for easy layout and processing.
3. Make a draft layout of your design – When all your calender design elements are collected, it should be then relatively easy to make a draft layout of the design you want. Layout the calendar months and dates first, then add in your major images. Add in text and your holiday dates last since they are easily adjustable.
4. Have your draft peer reviewed – Once your drafts are done, have your design peer reviewed. Have some officemates, or even the boss take a look at the design and gather feedback from them. It is important that the business image is preserved in the layout of the calendar, and of course it must also look impressive while at the same time being very functional. Once you get all the feedbacks that are possible, integrate their suggestion for a final draft.
5. Find a calendar printer – Afterwards, it should be time to find a calendar printer. Many printing firms offer calendar printing services. It is best to look online for the best printing services available since it gives you the most options. Be sure to “shop” for the printer and look for the best and cheapest printing quotations out there.
6. Start the transaction and pick your options - When you have a calendar printer already chosen, start the transaction by initiating their order process. For online printing services, this should be in the form of an online form or application. Just fill out the important information like specific printing options, payment modes and delivery dates.
7. Send your designs – Once done, all you have to do is to send the design to the printer. Usually they will have a preferred file format that you should give them, so try to send the correct file to them to make sure there are no errors. Send them Jpegs of the design as well for backup purposes.
